Hi Can some one advise me if I have been "ripped off"
Brif details..
I was living in a house that was being sold. I had no lease and was living there for opver 10years a friend said if thet really want me out they may settle for paying me off...so I got a 'mate' to put me in touch with a lawyer...
After a number of weeks and about 5 letters he settled a deal for 8k. I got 1,000 pre leaving the house and the rest after I had vacated the premisis. After I moved he said that I could come over to his office and get the rest. When there he handed me a check for 3.5k and said the rest is his fee...I knew nothing of the law and accepted...later I said this to another friend and he said that I was 'done' by this guy and the most he should have charged is between 500 and 1000e...do I have any comeback on this matter? any advice would be appericiated.
